Problem with network boot disk

[Guest_imported]

I have a question regarding: creating a Network DOS Boot disk. I want to create a network boot disk so that I can boot to DOS. connect to my fileserver, and run windows 2000 unattended install from a network share. However, everytime the boot process hits the net start, I get the following error . . .


Error 8: There is not Enough Memory Available



I am attempting to attatch to an NT4 PDC Server with 3COM 3C905B 10/100 Ethernet cards on all systems involved. Any help on this error message would be greatly appreciated! Thanks All!

The lovely 640K DOS Barrier.

Need to load DOS in high memory.

in config.sys put the following
Device = himem.sys
DOS=HIGH

If that does not provide enough memory add the follong to config.sys

device = EMM386.exe NOEMS
DOS=UMB

and any other device you load use devicehigh instead of device.

in autoexec.bat put LH with a space after it in front of any batch files or executables. This should load things into UMB and get you enough work space below the 640k Barrier.
It has been several years since I have fought the 640k barrier but I think I remembered everything correctly. I beleive you can load DOS and Device drivers high in DOS 6.0 and above.(Pretty sure it works with 95 and 98 boot disk)
